- Region and airport cooperation for sustainable mobility – Stockholm case
Synopsis: For Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, an environmental condition was decided in the 1990s that imposed an emission cap for the accumulated emissions of CO2 and NOX from surface access, airport operation and aviation. The Stockholm case shows how that has been a driving force for developing broad cooperation with a great variety of actions for reducing CO2 emissions from surface access by enhancing public transport accessibility, thereby allowing aviation to develop. Cooperation for improving quality in international connectivity for the Stockholm region has recently been established.
